B-CAL GROUP'S
RECORD PROFITS
British Caledonian Group, which
includes the Gatwick-based airline,
recorded its highest-ever pre-tax
profit of £21.7m last year, compared
with £15.9m in 1984.
But group chairman Sir Adam Thompson
told the group's annual meeting that
they would not seek a stock exchange
listing this year.
This was because business conditions
in 1985 made it difficult to make
specific predictions for 1986.
